CRUMBS FROM THE "FARM JOURNAL
TABLE.

Do not let any of the animals get
constipated and then sick. Feed bran
as a preventive, and roots or apples, If
you have them.
A few small potatoes (raw) or tur-
nips, or pumpkins given to cattle once
a day, has a decided influence on their
appetite aud health. They will eat
more hay or fodder.
Girls, take notice Flour should
be sifted thoroughly and then set on
back of the stove or some other warm
place, for twenty.four hours, or until
thoroughly dried before using.
When dogs run sheep down, causing
them to become overheated, they
should be killed as soon as they get
thoroughly cooled. Such sheep are
rarely good for anything afterwards.
In number of cases we have known,
they have fingered along Tor two years,
and then died, Almost always either
the lungs or the liver are affected aud
often times both.
Did you ever pour boiling cream, or
slightly thickened milk over buckwheat
or fl linnel cakes instead of buttpring
themi They are very good, and are
more wholesome than when buttered
and have this additional recommends
ton; that you can bake enough for
breakfast before sitting down to it, and
they will keep light and hot if dipped
at once into The hot cream, just as toast
is.
The Grange has made the farmer a
thinker it has made him a man de.
manding his rights it has enlarged his
views 1t has developed his talents
aroused his social nature made hlm
better morally; Frightened his life
beautified his home increased his in-
come; kept bis boys and girls on the
farm; given him an honorcd place
among men, and il fast securing him
his Just rights Mortimer Whitehead.
An old subscriber writes that he
has had his barn stock and fixtures, in
cluding thirty horses, mules and cows,
destroyed by fire. To avoid future
risks he proposes to e.r ct n number of
separate bmldngs in place OF one large
general barn, for instance, a stable for
horses, stable for cows, granary, tool
shed, aud removed from all these, hay
barracks. Now what do our readers
think of the plan? Is it wise one J?
The wrinkles grow on the horns of
cattle when they are goirg on three
years of age, aud when three years old,
there is generally one well defined
wrinkle around the horns close to the
head. The next year there are two,
and one additional every year. These
wrinkles denote the age, counting the
first one three. When calves are born
in the autumn ard stunted, the wrinkles
get out of oider and are not reliable as
to age. On springborn and well raised
calves the rule is about certain.
The folio wing is the method of cur
ing hams that received the prize at
New England fair: To every hun
dred pounds of meat take eight pounds
OF salt, two ounces of saltpetre, two
pounds brown sugar, one and quar-.
ter pound of potash and four gallons
water. Mix them aud pour the liquid
over the hams after they have been IN
the tub two days, they having been
rubbed with fine salt when put in the
tub. They should remain in this pickle
six weeks, then taken out, hung up
three days to dry and smoked.

A German chemist has invented a
new kind OF anesthetic bullet, which he
urges will, if brought into general use,
greatly diminish the horrors of war.
The bullet is of brittle substance,
breaking directly when it comes in
contact with the object at which it is
aimed. 1t contains a powerful anes.
thetic, producing instantaneously in.
sensibility, lasting for twelve hours,
which, except that the action of the
heart continues, is not to be distin-
guished from death A battle. field
where these bullets are used will in a
short time be apparently covered with
dead bodies, but in reality merely
with the PROSTATE forms of soldiers re
du led for tie time being to a state Of
Inconsistencies. While in this con
dition they may, the German chemist
points out, be packed in ambulance
wagons and carried off as prisoners

expresses the feeling OF many victims Of
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and ner-
vous or sick headache. Having tried
numberless so-called remedies, and physi-
clans of all schools, without relief, there
seems to be no hope. Many such have as
a last resort tried Athlophoros, and to their
surprise and Joy have found that it was a
safe, sure and quick cure Athlophoros isnot
an experiment; thousands have been cured
by its use and they testify as to its value.

the medicine; the next day my lameness
was better, and continued getting less until

months. was advised to try Athlopho-
ros by my neighbor, VIM. Jackson, who

The measuring of candle-power of
a light is accomplished by comparing
the shadow cast, by a rod in
the light of standard candle with the
shadow cast by the light to be tested,
by moving the latter towards or away
from the rod point will be reached at
which the shadow cast by both lights
will be OF the same intensity. The in
tensity of the two lights is directly
proportional to the squares of their
distances from the shadows i. e., sup
pose the light to be tested is thu ee
times the distance of the candle, its
Illuminating power is nine times as
great.
